At SCAI Engineering, we develop cutting-edge Proof-of-Concept (PoC) products to accelerate innovation in embedded systems. Our products bridge the gap between technology concepts and real-world applications, combining our engineering expertise with a deep understanding of safety-critical and high-performance systems.
VICU (Vehicle-Infrastructure Communication Unit) is a modular embedded platform that connects vehicles, roadside systems, and the cloud in real time. It’s built for smart cities, enabling features like live telemetry, road alerts, and data-driven traffic coordination.
The images above show:
Our compact hardware enclosure (PoC version)
A custom mobile dashboard for real-time tracking, driving insights, and fleet view
Our pilot-ready casing for rapid deployment in urban infrastructure projects
Key Features:
Real-time communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and the cloud
Modular design with support for CAN, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 4G/LTE/5G
Scalable interface for external V2X modules (e.g., DSRC, C-V2X)
Ruggedized, field-tested PoC hardware ready for urban deployment
Tech Stack / Platforms:
Modular architecture with support for CAN, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and 4G/5G connectivity
Runs on lightweight edge compute platforms with flexible firmware (Python, C, or custom)
Designed for integration with cloud APIs, roadside sensors, and smart infrastructure nodes
Scalable to more powerful embedded platforms (e.g., NXP i.MX series) for production-grade deployments
Offers options for on-device data processing, remote updates, and backend interoperability
Use Cases:
Smart Cities: Enable communication with traffic lights, RSUs, public transit systems
Road Safety Projects: Collect roadside data for traffic analysis and urban planning
Fleet & Transport Systems: Link vehicles with central infrastructure to optimize routing and response
Infrastructure Pilots: Rapidly deploy PoC solutions in real-world field trials
The SCAI Kiosk is a smart, edge-connected terminal designed for high-traffic environments like public buildings, EV charging zones, government offices, and gated facilities.
With built-in AI capabilities, 4G/5G connectivity, and an interactive touchscreen, it enables:
Real-time assistance via voice/chat
User-friendly workflows like registrations, check-ins, and info delivery
Secure data capture at the edge, synced with cloud services
Currently under development for deployment in pilot phase in Germany, the SCAI Kiosk blends hardware reliability with AI-driven user experiences, making public interactions faster, smarter, and more human-friendly.
Key Features:
Voice-enabled AI assistant for guided workflows and support
Large touchscreen interface for interactive tasks
Built-in camera and mic for facial recognition and voice capture
4G/5G + Wi-Fi connectivity for real-time cloud sync
Edge processing for low-latency performance and offline fallback
Tech Stack/platforms:
Prototype built using Raspberry Pi 5 with camera and microphone integration
Future version to use industrial-grade x86 or Arm-based edge compute (e.g., i.MX series, Jetson Nano/Xavier depending on use case)
AI assistant stack: Whisper (STT) + LLM Bot Logic + TTS pipeline
Flask/Python-based backend for UI flow, API, and data handling
Configurable cloud API integrations for user auth, analytics, and remote managemen
Use Cases:
Public Infrastructure: Digital assistants at railway stations, airports, and smart city hubs
EV Stations: Kiosk-assisted driver authentication, booking, or guidance
Government Buildings: Info desk, registration, or check-in workflows
Hospitals & Clinics: Patient check-in, health info guidance, multilingual support
Tourism & Museums: Interactive guides, ticketing, or local info assistance
Corporate/Gated Offices: Visitor entry control, directions, or support
Events & Exhibitions: Real-time support, navigation, and engagement
